There is a hint of danger in this.
Xiao Shu and Yan Lin looked at each other.
Everyone was inexplicably shocked when they heard it, but it was difficult to understand what was the unknown reason, so they only looked at them.
Fortunately, the butler's voice came from behind, speaking to another person: "Guanli is scheduled to have a banquet in the front hall at the beginning of noon. Now many guests have arrived, it is just right for the young master to go at this time."
Xie Wei returned from Chengqingtang.
His figure turned up from behind the door, his face seemed a little paler than when he left, and when he returned to the corridor, he looked up and saw everyone, and only asked, "Aren't you going to the front hall?"
Yan Lin closed the sword box, handed over to Xie Wei, and said, "Let's go now."
Xie Wei's eyes swept across the crowd. When he saw Xiao Shu, he didn't see anything, but when he saw Xiao Ye, he stopped for a while, and then went straight from the corridor to the front hall with the housekeeper.
The tense atmosphere that had permeated outside the Qingyu Hall before had disappeared a lot.
King Yanping immediately took the opportunity to laugh and said, "Why are everyone so angry on this great day? It's all trivial, trivial, walk around and go to the front hall, but I dare not let Mr. Xie and so many guests wait for a long time. ."
Xiao Ye snorted heavily and turned around with a sneer.
Although Xiao Shu had a worried expression on her face, she didn't seem to have any intention of getting into it. She only bowed her body politely to Yan Lin and went with Xiao Ye.
There was King Yanping laughing to ease the atmosphere, and the Xiao brothers and sisters were gone, everyone finally relaxed and went to the front hall one after another.
Yan Lin was at the end, and Jiang Xuening walked in front.
But when he saw that he was about to leave Qingyutang, he suddenly lowered his voice and called out, "Ningning."
Jiang Xuening's body trembled slightly, and his footsteps stopped.
She turned to look at him.
The young man glanced at the people who were walking in front of him before he came to her, smiled at her, took out the palm behind his back, stretched out his hand and threw a heavy bag containing something at him. Her: "For you."
Jiang Xuening subconsciously reached out to catch it.
King Yanping, who was walking in front, suddenly found that there was no one there, so he couldn't help but look back and called him from a distance, "Yan Lin, what are you doing?"
Yan Lin raised her head and said, "Come on."
He lowered his head and looked at Jiang Xuening again, the corners of his mouth were curved, but there was a misty melancholy in his eyes, which was fleeting, and said softly, "It's a pity that there is no chicken head rice at this time."
After he finished speaking, he walked forward first and followed up with Wang Yanping and others in front.
Jiang Xuening stood on the spot and gently opened the kit.
Inside is a small bag of fried pine nuts that have been peeled.
As always.
She seemed to see the young boy jumping down from the high courtyard wall of Jiang Mansion, sitting casually by the window with his long legs stretched out, and putting a small bag of peeled pine nuts in front of her, his eyes stretched and high-spirited appearance.
Looking up and looking forward, the boy's back is still tall and straight, but for example, in those days, it has become a little more heavy and calm.
Jiang Xuening couldn't help but sighed softly, and finally laughed knowingly for some reason.
The sky is surging, the wind is blowing and wrinkling the lake, and when the ripples appear, the koi on the bottom kiss the water surface.
It seems to be raining.
She carefully reattached the small bag of pine nuts before walking forward.
In the waterside, most people have already left.
When the sky was overcast outside, Zhang Zhe stopped for a while, stopped in front of the railing, and looked out.
When Chen Ying saw it, he couldn't help but stop.
In Chen Ying's mind, the head of the Qing Li Division, who was transferred to the Department of Criminal Justice, was a very strange person. He was neither keen on the contacts in the officialdom, but he was the only colleague who got together a few times. , he just came to show his face and left.
Conscientious and conscientious, but not diligent.
Most of the time, he does not speak, and only speaks eloquently when investigating cases or interrogating prisoners, but even when he speaks, he appears silent. Such a person is like a calm sea, and his indifferent face always gives people a feeling of being covered with many things. It is not that he deliberately hides it, but he may not be used to expressing it, and he is not willing to reveal it.
The original Minister of Punishment Zheng Shangshu angered the sage for speaking for Yongyi Houfu, and was ordered to leave office early by an imperial decree from the Holy Mountain to return to his hometown. The new Minister of Punishment, Gu Chunfang, is already on his way to Beijing, and will arrive in the capital in a few days, becoming the new one for everyone. boss.
And Zhang Zhe's Bole is Gu Chunfang.
Chen Ying's eyes flashed slightly, and he pondered in his heart. He felt that this was an excellent opportunity, so he smiled and walked to Zhang Zhe's side, and said, "What are you looking at, Mr. Zhang has not left yet?"
Zhang Zhe glanced back at him, his expression was neither fearful nor enthusiastic, still light, but said, "It's going to rain."
Chen Ying felt inexplicable.
He wanted to say what's the big deal about the next rain, it rains every day during the Meiyu season in Jiangnan, but as soon as he said it, it became: "Looking at Mr. Zhang's reticence on weekdays, it seems quite boring, but I didn't expect it to be To have such a Yaxing, I think it is a real show in the heart, no wonder Master Gu only fell in love with you when he was able to discern you, it is really enviable."
Zhang Zhe said: "A low-ranking official is a dull person, and he has to be taken care of by the old man. He has been cultivated with painstaking efforts to make it today, but he is only a low-level official. Master Chen is serious."
Chen Ying waved his hand quickly: "Where is it!"
Only the two of them were left in the water pavilion, and even the voices seemed empty.
Chen Ying also stood beside him and looked at the surging clouds in the sky, and said only: "Master Zheng bluntly said that he lost his post and was sent back to the old age by the sage. Master Gu Chunfang will take office soon, and Chen has also heard of Master Gu's famous name for a long time. , but because Mr. Gu has been working abroad, he missed seeing him. Mr. Zhang used to work under Mr. Gu, so he valued it very much. After counting, when Mr. Gu returned to Beijing, he could rely on Mr. Zhang for Chen. Recommended one or two."
To be honest, in today's Criminal Bureau, everyone wants to talk to Zhang Zhe.
However, Zhang Zhe is a boring gourd, and it is not easy to strike up a conversation at first glance.
Everyone wanted to curry favor with him, or know Gu Chunfang's habit through him, but they always felt a headache when they confronted Zhang Zhe.
Chen Ying made this very clear.
He wanted to meet Gu Chunfang in advance, and hoped to be introduced by Zhang Zhe, an old acquaintance, so that Gu Chunfang would not refuse even if he was being honest.
In any case, he is also Zhang Zhe's peak, different from others.
He felt that Zhang Zha was reluctant to agree, and it was not easy to refuse.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhe said flatly: "I will see you when Master Gu takes office, so why should Zhang be recommended? Master Chen is flattering, and Zhang is not willing to take it."
Chen Ying almost choked to death.
He couldn't keep the fake smile on his face, and his eyelids twitched before trying to come up with a sentence that could clear up the embarrassment, but when he raised his head to say it, he saw a pretty girl walking on the porch in front of him. The figure, so the eyebrows suddenly raised, forgetting what to say.
The girl Chen Ying had seen before.
Not long ago, in the Cining Palace.
One of the companions of the eldest princess of Leyang, Shen Zhiyi, and the protagonist of the time when Yang Zhizhai was inspected, is also... the one whom Xie Wei, the crown prince and grandmaster, had asked him to protect!
Because of the delay of the small bag of pine nuts, Jiang Xuening fell behind the crowd, but he didn't want to be too late, so he simply took a short path next to him.
Unexpectedly, there are people on the side of Shuixie.
She saw the figure from a distance, and her heart skipped a beat. When she got closer and saw that it was him, the faint excitement and joy would quietly sway in her heart.
At this time, Zhang Zhe also saw her.
Four eyes facing each other.
Zhang Zhe closed his eyes lightly, but Jiang Xuening looked at him. After a while, he turned to look at Chen Ying and bowed to the two of them: "I have seen Mr. Chen, Mr. Zhang."
When she bowed, she placed a hand lightly on her waist.
The snow-white slender wrist was exposed a little.
Zhang Zhe's drooping gaze fell on her, and at a glance, he saw the scratch that was not very obvious, with a faint blood color, that overlapped the hand covered by the wide sleeved robe, so he gently held it. tighter.
Feeling a little flustered, he didn't speak.
Chen Ying smiled at Jiang Xuening: "Miss Jiang is here too, have you seen Master Xie?"
Zhang Zhe didn't say anything, Jiang Xuening was a little disappointed.
But on second thought, they didn't know each other well now, and Zhang Zheren really didn't talk much, so he quickly put on his smile again, and returned to Chen Ying: "Mr. went."
Chen Ying said "oh", a dignified third-rank official in the imperial court, the same official position as Jiang Xuening's father, but he was pleasant to Jiang Xuening, very easy-going, and said: "Thank you Jiang Er girl for telling me, I am thinking about finding If I don't see Mr. Xie, I'll go with Master Zhang in a while."
Do Chen Ying and Xie Wei have a good relationship
Jiang Xuening had a suspicion in her heart, and glanced at Zhang Zhe again, but the dead face turned her head to look at the fish in the water and the ripples blown by the wind, she inexplicably felt stuffy, and said: "Then I'll go first, two Sir, farewell."
Until she was far away, Zhang Zhe held back and didn't look back.
However, Chen Ying watched her disappear, and then withdrew his gaze. There was a sense of interest in the bottom of his eyes, and he only turned his head to make fun of Zhang Zha: "Why do I look at this young lady and look at you more than once, In the end, it was you who solved her troubles in the Cining Palace that day, and it can be regarded as 'saving beauty', as if you were interested in you?"
Zhang Zhe lowered his eyes: "Master Chen is joking."
Chen Ying shrugged, but thought of something else, and said to himself: "Yes, after all, it is the person Mr. Xie wants to protect, where can he get others."
"… "
Something suddenly tightened in Zhang Zhe's heart, and he slowly turned his head to look at Chen Ying.
Chen Ying only said: "What?"
Zhang Zhe closed his eyes slightly and said, "It's nothing."
Chen Ying's mind has shifted to seeing what Xie Wei said for a while, but he didn't notice that there was something obvious in him at the moment, he just pondered: "Master Xie is really an incomprehensible person, even though he is the same as him. There are some intersections, but I always feel that I don't have a deep relationship. But it's strange to say that although the principal is not the same as Mr. Xie, he also gave Chen a kind of not understanding and understanding. You say that you don't love beauty, and you don't go to the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion when others tell you; you don't love Chinese food, and you live alone all day long. It's really confusing, Chen Mou I don't quite understand, what is the purpose of a person like Master Zhang?"
"Swish", rain falls.
The water mist was like a layer of veil, covering the lake and the pavilion, and suddenly the whole world was quiet, filled with a hazy beauty.
Zhang Zhe looked up.
After a long time, even Chen Ying thought he was in a trance and would not be able to answer this question, so he opened his mouth like never before, and said slowly: "If your ambition is not high, your direction is not far. One corner, watch the rain. That's all."
